Had the vibration problem with our TX; had the brakes changed, and the problem went away. It turned out to be a leak on the brake pipe on one side that burst, and when we had it changed, the problem went away. I was told it was the ABS coming on intermittently because of a change of pressure on the brakes.

We have a Ford Territory TX. The oil light comes on when stopping at traffic lights or when coming to a stop. It goes off when driving. It also comes on when reversing. The oil level is full. Any ideas what causes this? The car seems to run OK at all other times.

You're not alone. My 05 with 140k does the same thing. The light comes on at traffic lights when the engine temp is at running temp. If I put it in neutral from drive, the engine revs lift enough to make the light go out. I tried changing the oil thickness from 10-30 up to 10-40, and it made the problem happen less often. Try it. Otherwise it's either:

1. A worn oil pump.

2. A blockage in the oil system somewhere.

3. A faulty oil pressure sender.

I still want mine to go away completely, so I'll let you know if I'm successful.

Remove the mounting bolts for the brake master cylinder, move it out of the way enough for clearance to get to the push rod, grip it with pliers and turn the adjustment in 2 turns. This will give you clearance and fix the issue of the brakes staying slightly on all the time, which causes the rotors to get hot and warp, causing your shudder.

Hey mate, a bit of an old comment, but changing the oil from 10W 30 (the recommended viscosity) to 10W 40 is actually probably not a great idea, as the 40 weight would put more unnecessary strain on the motor having to force thicker oil around. You're probably better off just using the correct weight of oil, but getting fully synthetic oil that has a single weight.
